bgates, I think that the best course of action for the country is new leadership and a whole new policy. That won’t happen until 2008.
There’s no point for the Democrats to risk their political skins arguing with Bush and his neo-cons because they won’t listen. The Republicans will just label them defeatists. Let him have his way and when his policy fails, the voters will throw them all out. Long run, that’s, in my view, the best thing for our country and the world.
I’m not rooting for failure. But I can’t help but think that’s where we’re headed.
On partisanship, Carl Rove took it to new heights. Bullies don’t undertand compromise and talking it over; they believe it’s weakness. The Republicans need a taste of their own medicine so they feel the pain. Just like school bullies, the extreme right doesn’t understand reason… They need a hard punch to stop the intimidation.
